Trump’s attorney-general refuses to face Epstein victims, apologise

Donald Trump's attorney-general, Pam Bondi, has refused to apologise to victims over her department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump in the unredacted Epstein files ‘a million times’

Two members of Congress have named six men whose names were redacted by the Department of Justice from the Epstein files. Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie used their parliamentary privilege to name the men on the floor of the House of Representatives. "Seventy to eighty per cent of the files are still redacted," Khanna said. Jeffrey Epstein was a notorious sex trafficker and financier. (Christopher Anderson/Instagram) "There were six wealthy powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason." The list includes two billionaires. Nobody on the list is accused of taking part in any specific criminal wrongdoing or implicated in any crimes. And none of them have been charged in connection with Jeffrey Epstein. The legislation passed late ...

Hope and uncertainty as India and US strike long-delayed trade deal

AFP via Getty Images Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (left) last met US President Donald Trump in February at the White House, but the two have spoken on the phone several times since then US President Donald Trump's decision to lower reciprocal tariffs on India from 50% to 18% has been met with a sense of relief in Asia's third-largest economy, even as precise details on the agreement remain sketchy. India paid the highest tariffs in the world after Trump raised import duties on Indian goods from 25% to 50% in August last year, saying Delhi's purchase of discounted Russian oil was helping fund Moscow's war effort in Ukraine. After his call with India's prime minister on Monday, Trump claimed Narendra Modi had "agreed to stop buyi...

Melania Trump’s $57 million documentary on track to bomb at the box office

A new movie is coming out starring one of the world's most famous people, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares. Amazon's MGM Studios shelled out $57 million for the rights to Melania, a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. But days before its release, Australian audiences appear completely disinterested. Melania Trump in the upcoming documentary. (Amazon MGM) At its one screening this Friday at Sydney's Hoyts Warringah Mall, not a single ticket has been sold. In Cronulla, one person is going. At three cinemas in Melbourne, nobody has reserved a seat. Two tickets have been sold at a fourth. Most people don't buy movie tickets several days ahead of time, so the true reception won't be known until Friday. But a lack of pre-sales does indica...

Wall Street cashes in as Donald Trump ‘chickens out’ on Greenland

Donald Trump has retreated on his ambitions for Greenland, instead announcing an unspecified "framework of a future deal" for the island. The US president went into few details about the agreement he had struck with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. "This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. 'Trump always chickens out' is a common expression on Wall Street. (AP) "Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st." The president's apparent retreat is the latest example of what his critics refer to as TACO Trump. The unflattering acronym is short for Trump Always ...
